Sifted
Pursuing Growth through Trials, Challenges, and Disappointments
By Francis Chan, Larry Osborne, Wayne Cordeiro | Publisher: Zondervan
About the book
Planting and leading churches is a difficult calling. It can put strain on your mental and physical health, on your relationships with others, and even your relationship with God. Sifted offers practical guidance and hope for anyone going through a tough time in ministry or pastoral work.
Founding pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, Hawaii Wayne Cordeiro speaks the truth in love, offering wisdom and insight to walk alongside leaders as they face the challenges and hardships of planting and leading churches, while providing encouragement and inspiration for the journey.
A seasoned church leader, Wayne shares the things he wishes he'd known when he was starting a new church.
With additional stories from Francis Chan and Larry Osborne, each chapter includes a thought-provoking challenge question to develop a heart that is surrendered to God, focused on \"being and becoming\" versus \"doing and accomplishing.\"
Wayne will walk you through how to develop a healthy balance of personal care and spiritual leadership. But instead of a \"how to\" book on models and methods from men who have it all figured out, Sifted will help you process your journey in a way that:
- Challenges leaders' common scorecards of success.
- Encourages leaders to realize that they are not alone in what they are experiencing.
- Provides wisdom for the long haul to position younger leaders for a life of ministry.
You many find yourself in a season of sifting. If you respond correctly, this season can be every bit as important as the time of harvest. Sifting builds the muscle of faith, giving us what we need for what lies just around the corner.
